We take great pleasure in welcoming international students to Meridan State College (SC), the proud recipient of the Queensland School of the Year Award at the Excellence in Education Awards, 2015. Meridan SC consists of three sub schools that provide a structured, quality education and seamless transition through the different phases of our students’ learning. Our curriculum mission is to empower students with the confidence and capacity to enrich the communities and cultures of the future. Excellence in the teaching of literacy and numeracy is a major focus, and the College has introduced Master Classes for high achieving students and Programs of Excellence for those with an aptitude for dance, music, Italian and sport. Ensuring our students are skilled and prepared for the future is key to our teaching programs, and student learning is enriched through the use of an extensive range of electronic devices.While Meridan is very much a school of the future, we place great importance on 'old fashioned' values, such as good manners, considerate behaviour and pride in our College and ourselves. We have an unrelenting focus on high expectations and supporting students to achieve their potential in a safe and happy environment as they transition through the years of schooling from Prep to Year 12. Meridan’s dedicated teaching staff and experienced international team look forward to supporting and guiding you to ensure your time at Meridan State College is filled with success and happy memories.
